= = === === ==="Supersize Me" as a topic seems a bit dated. What if we used a similar idea, but titled it something like "X-treme _" (you fill in the blank). There is going to be a broadcast on ESPN of X-treme Games and this would tie in with it and maybe get teenage "buy in". To go with the topic might be ideas like:=== * how Xtreme sports affects the body * biggest * smallest (nano) * highest Wouldn't the original title of "supersize me" fit more with our society at large, especially current events? Gas guzzlers, the mortgage debacle with people owning WAAAAAAAAAAAY more house than they can afford, credit card debt, and a general pervasive attitude of gimme, gimme, gimme all have contributed to the mess our country is in. I think "Supersize Me", while not as "hip" as X-treme, might be more provocative and connected to the real world. My 2 cents...Len ||
